We've been saying that this muted hue is the biggest color trend of fall for ages. Now, Hilary Duff and the interior design team at Jenni Kayne have proved it with their 'collaboration of a lifetime.' In designing Hilary's workspace, the duo has once again made beige the star of the show.

The unassuming shade fits in with the warm neutrals trend and has become one of the biggest color trends of this year. It looks absolutely beautiful in Hilary Duff's office. We take a tour of the space and ask designers what they think about the scheme. 

From the light charcoal gray of her sofa, to the linen white of her pillows, to the beige rug, armchair, and coffee table, Hilary Duff nails decorating with neutrals in her living room. The room is textural, warm, and inviting.

Furthermore, Interior designers love that Hilary has chosen the warmer tones of beige over cooler neutral shades.

'Beige is the new gray,' says Isabelle Von Boch, design expert at Villeroy and Boch. She continues, 'While often branded as boring, beige should be hailed as the epitome of sophistication. Decorating with beige can create a serene and inviting atmosphere in any living space. When done right, beige can be a perfect canvas to masterfully decorate, effortlessly infusing your home with refined beauty.'

Ashley Banbury, Interior Designer and Color Marketing Manager at Krylon adds, 'Beige is a timeless and versatile shade and one that can work in almost all spaces. Beige is a great color to introduce into color palettes as it has a beautiful ability to compliment any colors in a home and add warmth and depth.'

She continues, 'For light and airy spaces with neutral color palettes, a beige accent will always be complimentary and add depth and interest. Beige can find a place in any color palette, but it is especially complementary in earth-toned color palettes.' Hilary and Jenni Kayne easily create this effect by pairing beige with natural browns, charcoal, and warm whites.
